Cable Tricep Pressdown

Cable Triceps Pushdown Instructions

Positioning:

1. Adjust the cable machine to a high position.

2. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.

3. Grip the straight bar or rope attachment with both hands, palms facing down or towards each other if using a rope.

4. Step back slightly to create tension in the cable but remain close enough to maintain a good posture.

Movement:

1. Keep your elbows close to your body and at a 90-degree angle.

2. Engage your core and stand up tall, keeping your back straight.

3. Slowly push the attachment down towards your thighs, fully extending your arms while keeping your elbows stationary.

4. Squeeze your triceps at the bottom of the movement.

5. Gradually return to the starting position, controlling the weight as you raise the attachment back up.

6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring that you maintain proper form throughout the exercise.

Tips:

• Avoid leaning forward or using momentum to push the weight down.

• Focus on the contraction in your triceps to maximize effectiveness.

• Start with lighter weights to master the form before increasing resistance.
